You know The Lincoln Project is having a huge impact when National Review, which is the smoldering remains of what was once Republican intellectualism has to write a nasty response to their efforts. ROFL. NR is little more than a farce these days, having sold their souls to Trumpism.

They seem to be knocking the Lincoln Project for coming at tRump and other Repubs as the Democrats would and for targeting moderate Republicans. Well, any Repub that hasn't openly opposed tRump needs to go. As for siding with the Dems, the enemy of my enemy and all that.

As Orange Shitstain Ignores Virus Crisis, Republicans Start to Break Ranks

...many Republican lawmakers have grown exasperated with the administration’s conflicting messages, the open warfare within Mr. Trump’s staff and the president’s demands that states reopen faster or risk punishment from the federal government.

Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska, said he wanted the administration to offer more extensive public-health updates to the American people, and condemned the open animosity toward Dr. Fauci by some administration officials, including Peter Navarro, the trade adviser, who wrote an opinion column attacking Dr. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert.

“I want more briefings but, more importantly, I want the whole White House to start acting like a team on a mission to tackle a real problem,” Mr. Sasse said. “Navarro’s Larry, Moe and Curly junior-high slap fight this week is yet another way to undermine public confidence that these guys grasp that tens of thousands of Americans have died and tens of millions are out of work.”

Senator Roy Blunt, Republican of Missouri, was more succinct: “The more they turn the briefings over to the professionals, the better.”

History Will Judge the Complicit
Why have Republican leaders abandoned their principles in support of an immoral and dangerous president?

Because principles are just stories people tell. "Virtue signalling," I believe the phrase is.
